First things first, depending on your facial hair style, length and cut will determine how long your grooming routine should take, some require trimming, so this is a rough guide on how I choose to do things, and I have a rather long red beard.

So if you have a shorter, more styled beard adjust accordingly, that would be the better advice I can give you here. So, in short, you may need to use a little less or a little more product, and combing your face fur won't take you as long, with possible fewer knots too.

Selecting the right products will drastically improve your beard growing game. Of course, we support and trust our own products, so can only recommend the finest products known to man, our Viking beard care range.

I apply a small amount of balm in the morning, before topping up midday with a small drop of TBS oil.

Combing through your manly face rug will help eliminate the chances of nasty knots and tangles from forming, and will loosen any that you might find in the process.

Before you reach for the nearest combing apparatus to hand, may I make a small suggestion? ditch your cheap plastic combs and replace them with a laser cut wooden comb, much like our flip style V comb.

Ever seen those fancy boar bristle brushes you can find in most men's cosmetic stores? No? Well, we have those readily available too!

But what's the fascination of those things? and what can they actually do to help improve your beard game?

The boar bristles are the fancy part, as they help control your frizz and even out any beard product you might be using with optimal results.

Yes, there are other cheaper alternatives, but none will deliver nearly as good results long term.
